Look back in the archives of this blog and you'll find quite a few mentions of the Fire Talk label. In more recent years, I haven't been posting as much even though the label continues to release quality music and remain a fiercely independent label.
I've heard of Cola, and have bought an Ought album and posted band leader Tim Darcy's solo album back in 2016. And I'm sure if I go back and listen to the band's previous releases on Fire Talk, I'll kick myself and wonder why I wasn't listening earlier, but why do that? Here I am right now, listening to the wonderful, somewhat self-titled "Cost of Living Adjustment" and literally loving each and every song.
When I listen to a band I'm thinking about posting, I usually jot down comps. I remember writing Protomartyr first, then Nap Eyes, but I really want to highlight the INXS comparison. There some Michael Hutchence in the vocals, and I likes it. And the recently posted Aathens fits nicely alongside Cola.
Cola are a three piece (!) and are based in Montreal, Quebec.
